Re: Anyone out there actually like "noisy" images.
Well OK, I am not aiming for utility!
\"If someone photographs scenes with zero tolerance for smoothness, aims for heavy grain and high acutance grain, and wants to let details in shadows go black, is the resulting image a photograph at all (speaking in a graphical sense)?\"
Well yes, it could easily be. My point is that such work is intended to be graphical, a bit like an artist choosing to work in charcoal or other distinctive medium. You don\'t have to work like that, I am just concerned that an automatic presumption that digital images should look real is undermining creativity.
Just observing what I feel everytime I read about a new way to remove noise, such processess are an extra technique that digital allows, not an aesthetic requirement.
